It seems the water out of my PUR water filter I just bought produces a higher PH Level but equal EC. Should I even bother to use for watering in soil ?

Great info! This is what I needed! Thank you very much I can always rely on this forum for great advice

Thanks for the tip

So more transpiration would mean to lower the amount of EC or raise. I use a 2.6 EC When I feed nutes. Late veg SCROG. Would I just water with same EC just more often? It’s sounding like something that might just have to be trial and error

So is my theory correct that more often watering will equal more nutes and thus more growth ?

What I’m asking is can I run higher than my 75-80 degree temperatures so that I can water more often and thus have more growth? What is the max temp I can keep the canopy at to accomplish this ?

Thanks everyone I got it sorted out. Checked ohms across ballast low side. Ballast was over due. The second bulb didn’t actually blow the ballast cut out so hortiluxe mh bulb is still running strong and worth every $$$

600w hydro farm ballast with a switch on it. Wired to 110. I was running 600w MH digilux bulb. Checked on my grow tent bulb was off and has black burnt looking on the inside of the bulb. Replaced it with 1000w blue MH hortiluxe and it burnt it too. Could it be cause I gave a cold bulb a hot...

Ballist was hot. Bulb was blown. I replaced bulb with a used bulb. And it blew that bulb too ?? What’s going on.

Also when I transplant should I cover some of the main stem near the Rockwool with more soil Basically making the plant look shorter . I was thinking maybe to the first node

These came out of smaller pots with Just a few holes in the bottom. It looks like the roots went straight for the holes, a.k.a. the oxygen so I believe I drill holes all around the bucket It’ll help with the Air ventilation to the roots

How have the roots looked after ?

Oh. I meant the sides. The fabric pots are supposed to be better cause the plant can breath through it I think. So that’s what I’m curious about.

Cool thanks I appreciate tbe confirmation. I thought so. Big holes on the bottom and little ones all over the sides ?

I’m about to transplant into 5 gallon buckets. I’m going to drill some holes in the bottom for runoff but should I drill smaller holes all over the sides too so the roots can breath like fabric pots do?

Alright thanks for all the advice

Ok

And my babies are a beautiful green no yellow or burn signs. But the magnifying glass thing makes a lotta sense. When would be a most preferable time to water

Ok I’ve always had a rule of thumb to water at the beginning Of their light period. And I always mist a little bit when I water to. Is it better the other way?

I don’t water in the dark or mist I don’t let them see any light no matter how small during they dark period. What difference would it make?
